Black widow spiders are my phobia, since one bit me, also since they overran the place I long ago rented.
I have a lovely rescue cat (Sabrina) who looks like a little girl polar bear (chunky and muscular with super thick snowy white fur). She is more like a dog than a cat, very smart, eager to please, teases and plays rough, however very cuddly and lovable. She makes a sweet little chortling sound whenever she happens to see me.
I also have a wild bird friend who visits my window, a little black phoebe who happens to also be the alpha phoebe in the local phoebe population. How do I know that? Because I watched him win the alpha competition myself! They didn’t hold another lek (a get-together of about 20 phoebe alpha candidates held annally) this year because they obviously still considered him to be alpha. And he’s the tiniest black phoebe alpha I’ve ever seen. Wow…what a bird, though! The real birding name is “tyrant flycatcher”. He will swoop right at your face in a territorial display if you do something he doesn’t like, such as staring at him too long through the window screen (which my cat did, and yes he swooped at her). Hence the name TYRANT.
I no longer keep a dog because I’m too old to walk one. But I think Olive is right. The dog whisperer tells you what a dog needs. When its needs are met (exercise, crate training, proper eating and elimination habits, and vet care, etc.) then you can more easily think about discipline.
